Wasso Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Sam McGoo runs those. Customs is placed on the cost for shipping and the value of the "declared" value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Dont want to, but need a set of LEDs Rear Lights, to replace the cracked one when a stone went through the lens and they are nearly £300 new. :scare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'd rather pay £300 than put those on. Sorry Sam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'd rather pay £300 than put those on. Sorry Sam! I have black rear lights at the moment non LED but as I said the drivers side has a hole in it from a stone, so either I find a second hand drivers side black unit or I upgrade them to LEDs..

mick-r1 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 A few years back I seen a 350 forum stand at silverstone and 3 cars had l.e.d taillights with a "z" kike those in the light. At the time they looked amazing. But since getting a 350 and going looking for them I cant find the ones I seen, either that or it was so new to be seen then that I just thought all along they were better than what I had seen.

KyleR Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Problem with those is only drivers side is a Z, passenger side is a weird 2. Just buy those ones from the states from e other thread, only took about 5-6 days to get here and no customs because its paid for by the sender.

WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks Kyle, your probably right but I just liked the pretend carbon look and they are a bit smoked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Sam's zed is a supercharged heavily modded Zed so it can pull of quite frankly rediculous lights, but they would look crap on a standard (ish) Zed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 What about these? http://bit.ly/17OFlVg £160 delivered and just take them to a body shop to get tinted...just had mine done for £50 and look spot on! So around £200 mark then you will get brand new OEM ish looking lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 "Marmite"not exactly standard..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks Vald. I have a set of standard OEM red rear lights, as you suggest may be worth getting them tinted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 standard non LEDs are dim enough anyway without tinting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yea, tinted my indicators as well, myself with that special tint film for the headlights etc...all light still goes thru fine and indicators flash orange Dave...hmmm might be, but I didn't notice it being too dim! And after tinting either...still very visible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about some old guy in a car ( not me ) I just don't like tinted lights that's all nothing personal I had silver indicators on my Zed which were dimmer so maybe I am just fickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
